Thread: Corsair CX400W

Everybody wants huge power supplies but the fact remains that most 450 to 500W power supplies can handle most of today's hardware. Good power supplies from reputed brands are usually over 450W. Corsair's new CX400W power supply comes in to fill the void.

The power supply looks similar to their hot selling VX450 model. It has the similar sized fan and the same finish. This isn't a modular power supply. The cables on the CX400W are long and will cover entire length of cabinets. The sheathing on the cables isn't as tough as the VX450 but definitely better than what most of the 450W power supplies in the market offer.

There is a difference in the weight of this PSU and other cheaper PSUs in the market. It also has a larger fan and thus runs a lot quieter. The cooling is sufficient and there are no stability issues whatsoever. A power supply like this can easily handle a GeForce 8800GT class graphic card with a couple of hard drives on an Intel Core 2 Duo system.
